along the Ohio river, extending northward
from Wheeling creek for quite u distance, and

other, causing him TO walk with slight limp.

View of a Religious Paper.

1t is only just to say this Congress
had no scandal to blush for. And then
its acts of wise and beneficent legisla-
ton are numerous. Seldom has any Con-
gress achieved so much. The passage
of the Presidential Succession bill fol-
lowed by that of the Electoral Count
bill remedies defects in National legis-
lation that were almost as old us the
Government, and removes u source OF
uncertainty that has more than once
menaced the well-being of the country.
Following these measures Is the re-
peal Of the Tenure-of-O Office act. BY
this repeal there is restored to the
President the full exercise of executive
functions which were coniided to him
by the constitution, and which were
curtailcd Mt u time when il was as
sumed that the incumbent of the Ex-
ccutive chair was plotting serious mis-
chief under most critical circum-
stances. The bill should never have
been passed in the first place; it was a
usurpation of executive duties by Con.
gress, and involved clear trcspass
upon .he Presidents constitutional
rights. These three measures together
will stand out as the most conspicuous
and important of the acts of the Forty
ninth Congress, second in Importance

war and reconstruction legislation

reference to choosing 1t rs site for the county

impressed with the town.
When GAINESVILLE became the county seat Nc.
Intre had secured q substantial advantage for
the town. Muskingum County at that time in
cluded Coshocton and the greater part Of what
now is within the limits OF Morgan, Monroe,
Perry Tuscarawas, Guernsey. Holmes and Car

this time was more rapid, and tho official bus
mess of the county was OF some help to the
town, as McIntire foresnw that 1t would be. The
first court in Muskingum County was held in
Harvey's tavern. But before the county was
organized all official business was done at Mari
eta. and after its organization the public build
one Occasion, however. the GAINESVILLE people
took things into their own hands.
Public sentiment against evil doers was very
strong on the frontier and 1t was well that IL
was, or the lawless element could not have
been held in subjection. One day two were
arrested in GAINESVILLE for counterfciting silver
dollars. 1t was not convenient to send them
to tho jail at Marietta, sixty miles distant To
set them free or to let them escape would have
looked like an encouragement to crime. 1t
was necessary that they should be punished,
so Mr.. McIntre summoned Daniel Convcrs
and told him in very strong terms that the two
rascals must be detained and punished. This
was not lawful but they were willing to as
sumo all risk, and induced the justice to assign
| their custody to them and they pledged them
selves that il the prisoners were not produced
on the day set for their trial they would take
| their places and suffer punishment in their
stead.
The two prisoners were taken to q cabin, and
after they had been handcuffed they were thus
addressed by McIntire, who stood as guard Mt

REPUBLICAN, nFjoURERS,"

An intcresting Speculation Regarding mn
"Understanding" between the senator
rom Ohio and tho "Statcsman" from
Maine.
1t would be interesting to know cx-
nctly what the understanding Is be-
tween Mr.. Blaine and Senator Sher-
men concerning the Republican norni-
nation In 1883. That these distin-
guishcd Republican leaders have of
late, through their friends, made q
truce there is little doubt. Before Cen
eral Logan passed away 1t was COM
monty believed that the Ohio states
man hoped to win the nomination
through disagreemcnts between the
head and tail of the old ticket. Death
swept away all calculations made on
that basis, and left Mr.. Blaine and Mr.
Sherman to fight it out alone.
Those who pretend to know affirm
that in case the Democrats renominate
President Cleveland, Mr.. Blaine will
desire to once more try conclusions
with him at the polls, and that, in this
case, Mr.. Sherman will step aside and
permit the Maine statesman to receive
a unanimous denomination and hearty
support. On the other hand they
whisper confidentially that if Govern
or Hill should be the Democratic can
didate Mr.. Blaine would realize the
hopelessless of the contest, whereupon
Sherman would take the nomination,
hoping to win on the strength of his
standing with the business interests of
the country.
Now this is very pretty story as it
stands, but it lacks plausibility. In the
first place, we do not believe that Mr..
Blaine has any hope of ever being able
to beat Mr.. Cleveland. If the Presi-
dent has phenomenal strength any
where it is among the business
men. They have confidence in him
That feeling elected him two years
ago. 1t would elect him rs against Mr.
Blaine in 1888. Moreover. the great
masses of the people look upon him as
n conscientious, conservative man. Mr..
Blaine, OH the other hand, has done
nothing to increase the confidence of
the business community, while the peo-
pie still feel, and probably always
will feel, that the plumed knight, how
ever brilliant, is unstable and erratic.
As for MI: Blaine's reputed dread of a
David b. Hill as competitor, that
play well be believed to be true. Gov
ernor Hill has all the popular qualities
of Mr. Blaine, without any of the un-
fortunate drawbacks which brought
political ruin upon the magnetic states
man.
James G. Blaine and John Sherman
may or may not have some sort of un-
derstanding concerning the nomina-
ton in 1888. But whether they have
or have not, it will not avail them un-
less there be some gross mistake
made on the other side. With fair
management the Democracy can and
will sweep the country in 1888. 1t
has plenty of first-class Presidential
timber, and in any case can give the
Republicans Roland for an Oliver
Boston Post.

important Political Skirmish.

The friends of Mr.. James G. Blaine,
according to newspaper report, have
lately been canvassing the prospects of
that gentleman for denomination to the
Presidency. Thile the result has been
disappointing it has not been dis
couraging. That is, there is not that
unanimi:y of sentiment in favor of the
Plumed Knight that was expected,
while the opposition is not so formida-
BILE that it may not be overcome by
good management.
The newspaper which gives tho in
formation is provcrbially inaccurate,
but it doesn't hesitate to give details
for what they are worth. Ohio is for
Sherman, Indiana for some one
else, Illinois Indifferent, Pennsyl-
vania non-committal, New Eng.
land divided, the South susceptible
and the West willing to be seen. These
suggestions are little indefinite and
for that reason wanting in value, but if
they correctly represent the sentiment
of the locality may be accepted as in
dicating that Mr.. Blaine is really out
of politics.
But the fact that the canvass is in
progress stands as contradiction Of
Mr.. Blaine that he is not aspiring to
lead the party in another contest. The
tattooed warrior is nothing if not adroit,
and he would not be likely to leopard
ize his future by entering a hopeless
contest for place he didn't want un-
der any circumstances. The truth is
that the canvass which has been
made, if it has been made, is
simply the prelude to an active and
energetic campaign which Blaine pro-
poses to enter against Sherman, Haw-
ley, and all the other aspirants for tho
Republican nomination. - Harrisburg

''you shall have plenty to eat and drink; we
have nothing to do with your guilt or limo
cence, but II you attempt to escape, I'll kill
YOU"
McIntire's resolute manner caused them to
think that he meant just what he said, and
they made no attempt TO get away. McIntire
and some of his friends took their seat by the
door of the cabin, axe in hand, day after day
and night after night, till the time for holding
the term of court arrived. The prisoners were
tried and convicted, one OF them having ad
mitted his guilt They were sentenced to be
flogged, and one OF them received twenty-five
lashes on his bare back, andthe other thirty
nine.
/. And SO John Mclntire secured the first tri
umph for law In the county OF Muskingum.
When 1t was thought best to make an effor
to have the Capital OF the State located a'
GAINESVILLE, McIntire was sent to Chllicotht
with others to present their claims TO the Legis
lature and make the necessary offers OF accom-
mediation In the way OF buildings. AT the ses
sion OF 1908 and 1909 tho committee from Mus
kingum County received assurances from thei
friends that II the county, at its own expense
would erect buildings suitable for the use o
the Legislature and State officers, u law woult
be passed making GAINESVILLE the seat OF Stat,
government for d time at least.
II was ~ once determined to build a bricl
building in front OF the old frame courthouse
and II was argued that the structure could b,
used for county purposes II the capital were re
moved.
There was no money in the treasury and tho
funds were advanced by few citizens, and tho
Statc'house was commenced In 1900.
In 1910 the law fixing the seat Of government
at GAINESVILLE until otherwise provided for wa'
passed. The new building was finished and
smaller one was erected for the Secretary o
State and Treasurer. The county contracted d
heavy debt In erecting these buildings thai

improved For this work Zane was allowed, as
compensation, to locate military warrants upon
three sections of land not to exceed one mile
square each. He took one section where
his road crossed the Muskingum at GAINESVILLE,
Il second where it crossed the Hooking at Lam
caster, and the third Mt the crossing OF the Sci
OTTO opposite Chillicothe. The land about
GAINESVILLE he gave to his brother and TO John
McIntre.
In this manner the site OF GAINESVILLE came
into the possession OF John McIntire. He put
his movable property on fiatboat at Wheeling,
and came with his family to begin the settle
ment OF the new town In 1890. He was soon
joined by few families from Virginia. and soon
u little town sprang up The first hotel was
kept by McIntire. Urlin, OF Columbus, has q
picture OF it, from which this cut is made.
McIntire did not become an inn-keeper be-
cause he wanted to earn livelihood in that
way, but rather to furnish an attractive place OF
entertainment for travellers His house was u
double-log cabin, with wide passageway be-
tween the two ends He was II cordial, good
humored man, with the fine Southern notion OF
hospitality and his house was u very popular
resting place for travellers. McIntire's house
stood at what Is now the corner OF Market and
Second streets, q few rods from the river, In u
grove OF maple trees
When Louis Philippe was roaming about
America In melancholy while the dazzling
star OF Napoleon was rising TO its magnificent
zenith, the detected monarch stayed for time
at McIntrc's cabin. Lewis Cass, referring TO
the incident in his book, says; "At GAINESVILLE
the party found the comfortable cabin OF Mr..
McIntlrc whose name has been preserved in
the Kings memory and whose house was q

When John McIntire pushed out from the
Wheeling settlement and brought his family

An Indignant "Republican."

These who found fault with President
Cleveland for not selecting for Recorder
of Deeds of the District of Columbia a
resident OF the district should ponder
over the sound remarks of the WASH
ington Republican organ. the National
Republican, on the question. The
National Democratic convention did
not include the District of Columbia
when it recommended the appoint
ment of residents to offices in the Ter
ritories, since the district is not Ter
ritory, but body corporate for mu-
nicipal purposes. The Democratic
platform did not adopt any plank
promising home rule to the District of
Columbia. The Republican says:
| When Congress became responsible for the
debt OF the district It changed the form of gov.
ernment and placed the control of oil the dis
| trict offices in the President subject to con-
/ firmation by the Senate. forming o board of
commissioners clothed with all legislative
power to itself, and denying the people repre-.
sentation or voice in the selection of their
rulers. The National Republican believes In
home rule, advocates home rule. and that taxa
tion and representation should go hand and
hand, but that does not change the facts Us to
our present condition, nor Justify the personal
abuse heaped upon the President OF the United
States by some of our contemporaries. Polt-
ically We are opposed to the President In
many things hc has demonstrated deep polit-
ical sagacity, and in none more so than in his
| persistent efforts to induce colored voters In
doubtful States Of the North to look upon him
as their political friend and leader.
The confirmation of Mr.. Trotter
showed how little regard the Republic
cans Of the Senate had for the "home
rule" plea. And yet it showed their
inconsistency. Mr.. Matthews was re-
jected because he was colored DEM
ocrat; Mr.. Trotter is confirmed
although he is colored Democrat.
There was no other objection against
either.-Albany Argus.
